Hash House A Go Go, Las Vegas NV

With a room full of Robuchon gifts leftover our fourth day would have been an easy one to sleep in and eat breakfast in the room – but why do things easy when there are so many great places to … Continue reading →

Morels French Steakhouse, Las Vegas NV

…as it turns out there is more than one Morel’s French Steakhouse – when I made Brunch reservations for our third day in Las Vegas I really had no idea…not until we walked by the familiar façade four days later … Continue reading →

MoZen Bistro, Las Vegas NV

While I will fully admit that I could eat breakfast at Bouchon every single day I am in Vegas I am also very fond of trying new places and therefore limit my repeats as much as possible. Having already made … Continue reading →

Hearty and Floriole, Chicago IL

The phrase “accidental expertise” was applied by them, not me – and when I say them I’m referring to The Hearty Boys, Dan and Steve. Never professionally trained but known by millions due to stints on the food network, a … Continue reading →

Big Jones, Chicago IL

For breakfast on the third day of our trip to Chicago I planned in advance – while I’m willing to wait in long lines for great food I’d much rather make a reservation and avoid it. With most Chicago brunch … Continue reading →

Jam and Sugar Bliss, Chicago IL

The day started like any other in Ohio – early alarm, a trip to the gym, and my typical breakfast…four clock hours later (5 minus 1 accounting for time difference) I found myself seated at a table at Jam in … Continue reading →

Supper and Garces Trading Company, Philadelphia PA

Described as “upscale modern American” I had it on good word that the setting and food at Supper were worth the trip at any time of day, but especially at brunch. Browsing the online space and the menu I had … Continue reading →

Dutch Eating Place and Flying Monkey Patisserie, Philadelphia PA

For those who know me it should be obvious that my dining style leans toward the finer side – and for breakfast to the eclectic or kitsch. With that noted, my fourth day in Philadelphia would be something different – … Continue reading →

Carman’s Country Kitchen, Philadelphia PA

Call me crazy – as much as I love fine dining breakfast kitsch will always hold a special place in my heart (and belly.) Having dined at some of America’s greats – Dottie’s True Blue, Griddle Café, Bongo Room, Miss … Continue reading →

Sam’s Morning Glory Diner, Beiler’s Bakery, Millers Twist, Philadelphia PA

I have to admit Sam’s Morning Glory Diner was not on my “must visit” list when I originally planned my trip to Philadelphia, mostly because I’d heard seating was incredibly limited and waits could top 2 hours. Waking up the … Continue reading →

Sabrina’s Cafe and Termini Brothers Bakery, Philadelphia PA

The trip to Philly began like any other – gym first thing in the morning, a drive to the airport, a quick 6am flight, and getting checked in at my “hotel” – this time a B+B on south 8th street, … Continue reading →

Pamela’s P+G Diner and Mon Aimee Chocolat, Pittsburgh PA

Their recipes are well guarded, the restaurant world famous, the chain ever expanding, and they even cooked for the President at The White House – clearly a visit to Pamela’s was on the agenda for our trip to Pittsburgh. Arriving … Continue reading →
